Tungsten has several atomic properties, such as density and hardness. Each 10mm cube made from 99.95% pure tungsten weighs 19.1 grams. Usually, the 50mm tungsten cube weighs about 2300 grams. Interestingly, there are talks about one special edition, a 14-inch cube, which would weigh more than 1,700 lbs (771.107 kg).

Tungsten works great for jig heads, drop-shot weights, slip sinkers, and every other situation where you use lead. As mentioned, tungsten is much harder than lead, and 1.7 times denser than lead which gives you more sensitivity than lead. You can feel every piece of the bottom you are fishing when fishing jigs.

Our tungsten weights are created using a process called sintering. Sintering or powder metallurgy is the process of blending fine powdered materials and pressing the materials into a specific shape. After reaching the shape, the materials are then heated in a controlled environment causing the material to bond.

Here are some of the positive characteristics of tungsten fishing weights.

• Tungsten weights are smaller in size and denser in weight.
• Tungsten produces more sound under water.
• It has better feel on under water objects.
• Produces a smaller bait profile in the water.
• Does not have the toxic characteristics of lead.

Sinkers are weights made of poured lead that can be tied or clamped onto your fishing line to help your bait sink to certain depths. The style and weight will depend on conditions such as water depth, size of bait, and strength of the current.

Tungsten steel is denser than lead which means it's harder than lead so it is better at helping you feel bottom composition and structure with your lure. The tungsten sinker gives you a better feel for what your bait is doing whether you are fishing wood, rocks, sand or clay bottom.

In contrast to its semi-mythical role in early metallurgy, these days the applications of tungsten are highly technological, making use of its hardness, stability and high melting point. Current uses are as electrodes, heating elements and field emitters, and as filaments in light bulbs and cathode ray tubes.

A sinker is a weight attached to your fishing line about 6 - 10 inches above the hook. It forces a hook with bait to sink and keeps your bait down near the lake or river bottom, where most fish swim. For most shore fishing, pinch on one or two small split-shot sinkers on your line. Use only enough to sink the bait.
